Observations On Atheism Part II - God And The Bible

[Ace Otana]

I for one has had enough about "how great the bible is". It's not great at all!

Just as I have had enough about "how great science is." I don't even disagree with that and I have had enough of it.

I'd like to point out that the bible was written by people who believed the world is flat, and that the earth is the centre of the universe and that women were responsible for lightning striking churches.

Okay, there are two possible responses I can give to this. First of all I could make the simple request that you back that statement up, having discussed those sorts of criticisms with atheists many times I happen to know you can't, because they are not true. And secondly I could give you the benifit of the doubt and assume that the people that wrote the Bible did think those things and thus place all the more reason to believe the Bible is the word of God rather than men because he was telling them the exact oppisite of what you suggest they thought about those thinngs.

Bloody fucking hell you would think you guys could come up with at least a halfway decent argument. Where is your sense of logic and reason, did they beat it out of you in school? I'm uneducated and I can see that.

These people knew nothing! Everything they wrote was from a superstitious view. There was no scientific method back then.

Science is still catching up with the Bible. This is so lame, Ace. C'mon!

So why should I abandon all science today, with all it's data, evidence, research, study and countless great thinkers just because a book says so which was written by people who thought the world was flat!?

I already made the point of the flat earth, but as far as abandoning science I never suggested that! Would it be such an ominous task to not be so spoon fed by your science. I sure as hell wouldn't even allow the Bible to do that to me. I won't put up with that shit from nobody Science or God.

There is no such thing as a god. Since nothing says there is one.
(The bible does not class as evidence)

I've been down that road too many times here. If you can't define the simple word god you will continue in that sort of ignorance.

If anyone back then believed the world was flat, they would have their heads cutoff.

Everyone back then believed it. The bible is the biggest bullshit story ever told.
I'm using logic and reason right now, by questioning everything you, the bible and this gawd thing. I am using logic. The bible is a load of crap.

You seem to be very defencive about the bible there. A book made from people who thought the world was flat. That bible to me is nothing but a childs story book. This is how I truly feel about it. As do many atheists.

Now the bible is evidence of nothing. Books cannot be classed as evidence.

Everyone back then had a very superstitious view, I think it's madness. I know you don't agree but the bible is loaded with contradictions and blood.

What reason is there to believe everything the babble says? If there was a sign on the edge of a cliff that said jump because the sign says so, would you? Hell no! It's the same with the bible.

Sorry but I really think the bible is just a waste of paper. It's covered in supersitions.
